  1. Attention, people with #broken things in #Regina!

    Tomorrow - Sunday, November 7 - is this month's Repair Cafe, where a whole bunch of volunteers get together and fix pretty much anything you can haul in, for free. This month, it's at the Glencairn Recreation Centre at 2626 Dewdney Ave. E., which is just east of Fleet Street.

    In addition to turning broken things into working things, this also helps keep stuff out of the landfill so it's good for the environment.

    It's a good thing our volunteer corps has grown so much over the last year - we have over a hundred pre-bookings for tomorrow, but there will also be time for walk-ins.

    This is the first time we're doing it on a Sunday instead of Saturday, so come on down and see us. It's open to the public from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

    I'm just a repair volunteer, not one of the organizers, so this isn't official communications or anything like that. I wonder if anyone's actually shown up after I post one of these announcements...

  2. Beim Einschalten brummt dieser Bassverstärker auf voller Lautstärke! Ausfindig gemacht werden konnte ein kaputter Transistor in der Endstufe. Ausgetauscht - und man kann wieder super Bass spielen!

    When turned on, this bass amplifier hums at full volume! A broken transistor in the power amp was identified. It was replaced—now playing bass is great again!

  3. The display in my BlackBerry Bold 9700 finally broke. I "inherited" this thing from a company I left in 2011. I still semi-regularly use it tho', as it houses my Hungarian SIM card - a country I left in 2013. Someone smart would have taken the opportunity to finally upgrade the phone. I'm not smart, so I decided it is a good investment of time and money to try to repair it. One failed attempt later (junk evilBay part was junk), the second take worked!

  4. I have a niche mechanical problem. It involves making and installing a very small stainless steel rivet for a 1950's-era watch clasp. The manufacturer will replace, not repair, the clasp and bracelet and I'd like to keep using them. It's a "nice" but not "OMG!" watch. I'm not a watch aficionado. My grandpa wore it for decades, I've worn it for decades, and I'd like to keep wearing it. I am looking for skilled folks who might be able to do the repair.
